Sòm 101

1 Yon Sòm David Mwen va chante de lanmou dous avèk jistis. A Ou menm, O SENYÈ, mwen va chante lwanj.

A Psalm of David. I will sing to thee, O Lord, of mercy and judgment; I will sing a psalm,

2 Mwen va prete atansyon a chemen san repwòch la. Kilè Ou va vini kote mwen? Mwen va mache anndan lakay mwen ak entegrite nan kè m.

and I will be wise in a blameless way. When wilt thou come to me? I walked in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.

3 Mwen p ap mete okenn vye bagay devan zye m. Mwen rayi zèv a (sila) ki chite yo. Sa p ap tache men l sou mwen.

I have not set before mine eyes any unlawful ting; I have hated transgressors.

4 Yon kè ki pèvès va oblije kite prezans mwen. Mwen p ap aksepte konnen okenn mal.

A perverse heart has not cleaved to me; I have not known an evil man, forasmuch as he turns away from me.

5 Nenpòt moun ki bay vwazen li kout lang an sekrè, li menm, mwen va detwi. Nenpòt moun ak rega awogan oswa ògèy, mwen p ap sipòte li.

Him that privily speaks against his neighbour, him have I driven from [me]: he that is proud in look and insatiable in heart, —with him I have not eaten.

6 Zye m va sou fidèl a peyi a pou yo kab rete avè m. (Sila) ki mache nan chemen san fot la, se li menm ki va sèvitè mwen.

Mine eyes [shall be] upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walked in a perfect way, the same ministered to me.

7 (Sila) ki pratike manti p ap rete lakay mwen. (Sila) ki bay manti p ap kenbe pozisyon li devan m.

The proud doer dwelt not in the midst of my house; the unjust speaker prospered not in my sight.

8 Chak maten mwen va detwi tout mechan nan peyi yo, Pou m kab koupe retire nan vil SENYÈ a, tout moun ki fè inikite yo.

Early did I slay all the sinners of the land, that I might destroy out of the city of the Lord all that work iniquity.
